Mounting the pickup cartridge
You can now mount and adjust your pickup cartridge ac- cording to the instructions provided with the pickup. Pro- ceed with making all necessary alignments.
In the following you will find some comprehensive instruc- tions concerning the correct mounting and configurations. However if in doubt you should in any case resort to the original instructions provided by the manufacturer of the tonearm or pickup.
Mount the pickup cartridge to the slots in the tonearm‘s headshell. While doing this it is recommended to have - if possible - the stylus guard attached to the cartridge in order to avoid damaging the delicate stylus.
Tonearms supplied by Thorens will always accept pickup cartridges with standard fixing hole distance of 12.5 mm (1/2”).
Carefully with the help of tweezers attach the
Rright channel, red (signal)
Gright channel, green (ground)
L left channel, white (signal)
G left channel, blue (ground)
For the time being do not tighten the headshell screws.
HINT: if cartridges from GRADO are to be employed it is recommended to fix them with screws “upside down”. This means the screws are inserted from underneath through cartridge holes and headshell slots and the nuts are to fix the screws on top of the headshell.
